Precautions On operating voltage Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety • The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. • Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.
On placement • Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo system. • Do not place the system in an inclined position. • Do not place the system in locations where it is; — Extremely hot or cold — Dusty or dirty — Very humid — Subject to vibrations — Subject to direct sunlight
On operation • If the stereo system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. • When you move the system, take out any discs. If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

The demonstration appears automatically the first time you plug in the power cord, or if there is a power outage lasting longer than half a day. The clock setting/radio presetting is canceled. • The power cord is disconnected or a power failure occurs for more than half a day. Redo the following procedures: – “Step 3: Setting the time” on page 7. – “Step 4: Presetting radio stations” on page 8. To set the timer function again, also redo “Waking up to music” on page 38 and “Timer-recording radio programs” on page 39. There is no sound. • The jumpers for the DJ MIX jacks are not connected (for European, North American, and Mexican models only). • Turn VOLUME clockwise. • The headphones are connected. • Insert only the stripped portion of the speaker cord into the SPEAKER jack. Inserting the vinyl portion of the speaker cord will interfere with the speaker connection.
•The volume level is automatically set to the minimum during the Timerrecording. There is no microphone sound. •Turn VOLUME or MIC LEVEL to adjust the microphone volume. •Make sure the microphone is connected to the MIX MIC jack correctly. There is no guitar sound. •Turn VOLUME or GUITAR LEVEL to adjust the guitar volume. •Make sure the guitar is connected to the GUITAR jack correctly. •Select “MIX GUITAR/KARAOKE” by pressing MIX GUITAR/KARAOKE. There is severe hum or noise. •A TV or VCR is placed too close to the stereo system. Move the stereo system away from the TV or VCR. “0:00” (for European models) or “12:00AM” (for other models) flashes in the display. •A power interruption occurred. Reset the clock and timer settings. The timer does not function. •Set the clock correctly. DAILY and REC do not appear when you press c/CLOCK SET. •Set the timer correctly. •Set the clock. The remote does not function. •There is an obstacle between the remote and the system. •The remote is not pointing in the direction of the system’s sensor. •The batteries have run down. Replace the batteries. There is acoustic feedback. •Decrease the volume level. •Move the microphone away from the speakers or change the direction of the microphone. The color irregularity on a TV screen persists. •Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If the color irregularity still persists, place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Speakers There is no sound and “PUSH POWER” and “PROTECT” appear in the display alternately. •Press [/1 to turn off the system and check the speaker connections and placement. Sound comes from only one channel or the left and right volumes are unbalanced. •Check the speaker connections and placement. There is no sound from the surround speakers (LBT-LX50 only). •Press SURROUND to turn on the surround effect.
The tape does not record nor play, or there is a decrease in sound level. •The heads are dirty. Clean them (see page 46). •The record/playback heads are magnetized. Demagnetize them (see page 46). The tape does not erase completely. •The record/playback heads are magnetized. Demagnetize them (see page 46). There is excessive wow or flutter, or the sound drops out. •The capstans or pinch rollers are dirty. Clean them (see page 46). Noise increases or the high frequencies are missing. •The record/playback heads are magnetized. Demagnetize them (see page 46).
CD Player The CD tray does not rotate. •A CD is not placed properly. A CD will not play. •The CD is not lying flat in the disc tray. •The CD is dirty. •The CD is inserted label side down. •Moisture condensation has built up. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. Play does not start from the first track. •The player is in Program or Shuffle Play mode. Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until “PROGRAM,” “ALL DISCS SHUFFLE,” or “1 DISC SHUFFLE” disappears from the display.
Tape Deck The tape does not record. •No tape is in the cassette holder. •The tab has been removed from the cassette (see page 46). •The tape has reeled to the end.
48
Tuner Severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or “STEREO” flashes in the display). •Adjust the antenna. •The signal strength is too weak. Connect an external antenna. A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo. •Press STEREO/MONO so “STEREO” appears in the display.
If other problems not described above occur, reset the system as follows: 1 Unplug the power cord. 2 Plug the power cord back in. 3 Press c/CLOCK SET, ENTER, and ?/1 at the same time. The system is reset to the factory settings. All the settings you made, such as the preset stations, clock, and timer are cleared. You should set them again.
